Possible Lyrics

When I did that last post I had in mind the lyrics to the last verse of a David Allen Coe song:

"Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song, and he told me it was the perfect country and western song. I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the perfect country and western song because he hadn't said anything at all about momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison or gettin' drunk. Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to this song and he sent it to me and after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it on this album. The last verse goes like this here:

Well, I was drunk the day my momma got out of prison, And I went to pick her up in the rain. But before I could get to the station in the pick-up truck, She got runned over by a damned old train.

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me. And I never minded standin' in the rain. Ohhh. You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'. You never even called me, Well I wonder why you don't call me, Why don't you ever call me by my name?"

Perfect C&W Song

Could you write the perfect country and western song?
Or at least a verse?
To be the perfect C&W song it has to mention~
mama
trains
trucks
prison
& getting drunk
Give it a try.

Sunday 14 September

Today is the 7-year anniversary of closing on the house.

Today Bodhi ate a butterfly.
And Maddie had a ladybug on her head.

Tile was delivered on Tuesday and installation began on Thursday.

The wolfpack took their first walk (off leash) in the desert behind the house yesterday/Saturday.
